Are increased remnant cholesterol levels associated with new-onset carotid plaque compared to other conventional lipid parameters in a Chinese community-based population?
Remnant cholesterol may be a superior marker for early atherosclerosis prevention, particularly in patients with lower LDL-C levels.
Increased RC levels were superior to other conventional lipid parameters to be associated with new-onset carotid plaque in the Chinese community-based population. Furthermore, RC should be considered in participants with lower LDL-C levels for the purpose of early atherosclerosis prevention.
Liu et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
